Wontana fares poorly in study of university systems ob Anez iSOciated Press

HELENA (AP)-The on tan a university svstem 's ility to operate with l~ss state d, lower faculty pay and gher tuition than systems in ost comparable states may

trade off quality for efficiency, a legislative study suggests.

The report found Montana ranks last among eight western states, on a per-student basis, in facu lty salary, total funding and state aid. Only one state-North Dakota-charges higher average tuition and spends less on instruction per

student. Two states pay their college

faculty less in average salary and benefits.

The report by Sandy Whitney of the Legislative Fiscal Division said states with lower faculty-student ratios may be perceived as offering a higher quality education because each

student would theoretically receive more instructor time.

She sa id one question lawmakers should consider is whether the campuses should h ave more facu lty for the num ber of s tuden ts to encourage quality.

Commissioner of Higher Education Richard Crofts said

What if Elian Gonzales was Haitian?

Why is it that virtually all Haitian refugees, including children, are returned to Haiti by the Coast Guard, while many Cuban refugees are allowed to stay in the United States? The conditions of life for children in Haiti are much worse than in Cuba. Children work in sweatshops for U.S. corporations like Disney in Haiti, and there is no free health care and education as there is in Cuba. Cuba is a better environment for children, even with the U.S embargo, than is Haiti If Elian Gonzales had been one of the thousands of Haitian children risking their Jives to flee that island, the story would have been completely ignored by the U.S. media.

A similar thing

happened in the 1980s, when Nicaraguan refugees were accepted into the United States, while Guatemalan and El Salvadoran refugees were sent back to the brutal governments in those countries, often to a certain death.

The determining factor is whether the people are fleeing a socialist or a capitalist country. The overriding concern of U.S. foreign policy is the preservation of capitalism and the opening up of all countries to U.S. corporate domination.

The intense controversy over little Elian Gonzales is entirely political. The Cuban exile community in Florida is utilizing the existing antagonism toward Cuba by the U.S. government to further their own ends. Many of these exiles were landowners or owners of other capital property in Cuba, who lost that

property when Cuba went socialist-just as the Mafia lost their casinos and prostitution houses. Some of these Cuban exiles have a history of terrorism. On October 6, 1976, they bombed a Cubana airlines plane killing all 73 people on board, and there have been many other terrorist acts.

This little boy has suffered enough with the loss at sea of his mother and now the continuing debate over which country he should call borne. If these U.S. politicians, who constantly talk of "family values," really believe in them, Elian Gonzales should be sent back to bis father and Grandparents in Cuba!

While Crofts believes the univcrsit) system still offers a high-quality education, that question is often a matter of individual perception. Parents and high school graduates may conclude the level of funding for higher education has diminished quality, he said.

Foundation funds university programs Joe Spangler Exponent Writer

The MSU Foundation is located in a building that all of MSU is familiar with, (built in 1993 as the Alumni/Foundation Center on the corner of 111h

Street and Lincoln Street) yet, no one really knows what happens there.

In 1946, MSU organized a group called the Research Foundation, presently known as the t.ISU foundation, "for the purpose of promoting the best interests of Montana State University. The Foundation promotes the uni\·ersity's programs of instruction, research and public service by providing financial, public relations and other forms of support to the uni\'Crsity,~ according to the Foundation's mission statement.

The Foundation is made up of 27 board members, consisting of a number of Bozeman business leaders and uni\·ersity officials, who meet

three times a year to discuss university endowments, projects and the priorities of MSU. The major functions of the Foundation are to manage the endowments of the university, according to E.xecutive Director Tom Gelder.

"You want passion for the uni' ersity. We try to have people that are from all over Montana with an ability to network. All of these people are interested in helping out and trying to make the university a better place and they take that job ,·cry seriously," Gelder said.

Each of the eight colleges at t.tSU has a director of de\'clopment, t.;mployed by the Foundation, who is in charge of promoting and enhancing certain programs within that college, according to Gelder. The directors are paid by the Foundation for three days a '"'·eek and each college is left to supplement for full time employees.

The Foundation also manages student scholarships,

by investing the scholarship money (through mutual funds), paying out the scholarships, then re-investing the remaining money for additional scholarships. As of 1997, the Foundation had accrued $40 million in assets, compared to $1 million in 1977.

The Foundation also contributes to other "top university priorities~, such as the animal research center and the library include projects like the Calf Scour Vaccine Project and the Dutch Elm Disease Cure Project.

"We try to take on those university projects that maybe don't fall under a certain college," Gelder said.

All university non-profit organizations under the IRS code 501c3- charitable, tax C'>Cmpt organizations-arc also aided by the Foundation, including the Museum of the Rockies, KUSM and Shakespeare in the Parks. The Foundation spearheads fund raising for groups such as these.
